The Foundation, working in concert with the CDC, spends the vast majority of its funds directly for programs and projects that further its exempt purposes. These disbursements are either in the form of grants or awards or in the form of fees for services. Fees for services range from translator fees for the tobacco surveys in twenty-four countries, to consultants for the production of environmental scans, survey and statistical work, training manuals and research planning. The authority of the Foundation to pay for these services is addressed in the federal statute creating the Foundation and plays a vital role in helping CDC accomplish its mission. The Foundation monitors these fees and services to ensure that the amounts paid are reasonable and that program goals are being met. |
